“We stayed in the main hotel Room 7 and could not fault it fabulous views large en suite , above the dining room but no noise apparent .The Pinnacles looked great but due to time of year, and weather conditions and that you are required to walk short distance for breakfast we opted to stay in the hotel” (K9)

Been wanting to visit this hotel for a long time and was not disappointed. Friendly staff, excellent food, lovely room. Definitely one to re-visit. Shame they couldn't work their magic on the weather so we could enjoy the magnificent views fully.

The Cottage in the Wood is well hidden and if, as we were, you are fortunate enough to have one of the forward facing rooms, the views are absolutely stunning.
The hotel is a family run business and the staff we encountered were all pleasant, friendly and engaging. The room we had (in the Pinnacles) was spotless and well appointed....

Firstly, thank you for your review. All the feed back here chimes with the verbal feedback you gave as you checked out and in the questionnaire that you completed.
I'm delighted you enjoyed all of your stay bar the food , which of course is a key part of any break.
We always used to have two vegetarian main courses...

Booked this hotel for a surprise one night stay for my boyfriends 21st birthday - and I couldn't be more happy with the choice. It was absolutely beautiful and can't thank the staff enough; they made our stay very comfortable and special. It was the warmest welcome I have ever had at any hotel, and it was clear the family...

We are very glad that you enjoyed your stay with us and found us through Secret Escapes.
Delighted the team did their bit and fixed the menu choice dilemma too. Food is the responsibility of my son Dominic but you can blame me for the wine "book"! We look forward to your return in the summer sunshine. Thank you for...

Thank you for a really wonderful stay. Everything, from the room, food and service to the helpful, lovely staff, was perfect. Glorious views (especially from our lovely room in the Pinnacles) and a great map provided by the hotel to guide us up to the even more spectacular ones on the hill tops above the hotel. Even the weather was...

That's great to read. Just what we aim to provide, a haven from life's hurly-burly. What a bonus with the nice weather. March always seems to throw everything at us from cold winds, bit of rain but always some glorious days too which hint at things to come.Thank you very much for the review and I hope you will return...

From our greeting at reception to the surprise Birthday card for my wife, the team here really know how to listen and go out of their way to please. My 2 minor grumbles on leaving, blankets rather than a quilt on our bed and wifi working intermittently could have been sorted if I had mentioned them earlier.
The breakfast was...

My team really do try to help our guests. The moto is "The answers 'yes', now what is the question?" I'd be amazed if we - or anyone else for that matter - is 100% to every guest all the time as all of us are different in our views, moods etc but we do our very best!
Thank you...

My wife and I wanted a couple of nights in a comfortable hotel close to the Malvern Hills to celebrate our anniversary. After some research we decided to book at the Cottage in the Wood for dinner bed and breakfast. The welcome we received on arrival was great and reception provided us with a map to guide us through the...

From start to finish our break was second to none . Staff courteous, and professional without too much formality. Our room was warm and comfortable with a large en suite and had stunning views. Well stocked hospitality tray , and useful toiletries in en suite . The cuisine was outstanding , and really deserves more rosettes, top marks to the...

What a tonic for my team for them to read your comments. Many thanks indeed. We are of course delighted that we "hit the spot" and that you enjoyed your three nights with us. Dominic and the brigade are especially pleased that you enjoyed the food from the latest of our a la carte menus.

So glad the break set you up. it sounded as if you were able to relax and recharge. The team really enjoy what they do and like being part of what we trust is the antithesis of a chain hotel. Glad too that you enjoyed the food - such an important part of a break away. Many thanks for your...

Stunningly set high above the Severn Plain with 30 mile views to the Cotswold Hills that form the horizon.
Unpretentious, comfortable, friendly hotel with a reputation for consistently good food (two AA rosettes) and a 500 bin wine list. Direct access to the Malvern Hills. Close to Three Counties Showground. Family owned and run for two generations....more less
